Not much to go commercial I know, but hear me out. I have two features in the works which will have a corresponding Spigot plugin.

Remote Whitelist Management

I intend for this to pretty much do as it says. Remote whitelist management is something I’ve needed for a long time. The intent is to tie it into the Applications module and provide the Minecraft server a remote endpoint to read from, instead of reading the default whitelist.json file.

Why use this? Well it’s simple. Right now the applications module just stores the approved applications. I intend to provide a feed for the server to read from, as well as a corresponding Spigot plugin, which will auto-whitelist users on the list. So simply ‘approving’ an application no longer just swaps the post status, it will then also white-list that user.

Buddy Press, BB Press and WordPress Registration

This is a request I got some time ago, which makes complete sense. The idea is to allow users to register their IGN on the WordPress website. Basically linking a WordPress username to their IGN.

Of course there are other features for this that I have in mind like linking it up with Buddy Press & BB Press to allow MC users to select different users to post as, or list IGN’s they’re affiliated with.

Thoughts?

Is this enough to go commercial? Maybe I should go a ‘freemium’ route? Not entirely sure yet, but I’ve currently deleted the GitHub repo and moved it to my private repos. So we’ll see how this goes.

On the flip side, I would love to hear some thoughts on this, like what makes you want to go ‘commercial’ for plugins, or where you may have failed/succeeded?
